Narcissists are 2 year old infants who are trapped in a post-traumatic condition characterized by a perpetual prolonged complicated grief coupled with depression.
Already in 1942 Hervey Cleckley hypothesized that narcissists and psychopaths may be actually emotionally hypersensitive and inordinately intelligent. Their disorders are defensive attempts to wall off emotions that were so profound that they threatened to overwhelm and dysregulate them. Theirs is a post-traumatic state that can best be described as complicated grief or prolonged grief reaction.
A later scholar, J. S. Grothstein suggested in 1984 that Borderline Personality Disorder was the outcome of a failed effort by the child to deploy pathological narcissism to avert and forestall ominous emotional reactions to extreme abuse.
